Sweets I miss

Does anyone remember Duncan Walnut whips?
They were different in that you also got a walnut inside as well as on the top.
YUM !!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was trying to think of the name - it was kayli thank you whoever remembered that.
I do remember iced gems and someone choking on one at a party.

lemongrove, I saw Caramac buttons and bars in Tesco today so you're in luck ?

Ooooooooh reading this post is making me drool!!! We have an 'old fashioned' sweetshop near us and I think I may have to go there tomorrow. I have a sudden yearning for Frys Five Boys, Sherbet Dips, Fruit Salads, Black Jacks, Sugar Mice, Chewing Nuts, Barley Sugar Sticks, Coconut Ice, Licourice Laces - I could go on and on........

Beau and Camelotclub thank you for the info on Caramac.

What happy sweetie memories! I used to think it would be wonderful to be grown up and ask for half a pound (weight)
Of sweets from jars ( a pound was unimaginable) as the most I ever got now and again was a quarter.
Usually I spent my school busfare on frother bars, penny arrows, black jacks, fruit salads and Cowans toffee bars.

I alao lusted after those large boxes of chocs with pictures of kittens or thatched cottages with a ribbon tied around them, but sadly they had all vanished by the time I grew up and had the money for them.

1974cookie I don't remember those but I do remember getting a Duncans selection box one Christmad. Best selection box ever.

Oh annep. you do not know what you have missed.
2 Walnuts in a single walnut whip.
Simply the best.
Never heard of a Duncans selection box. What did it consist of ? Is this an english box of confectionary ?

Did anyone else get Ewbanks liquorice selection boxes at Christmas, rather than chocolate? There`d be a pipe,
a Catherine wheel, shoelaces, all sorts of novelty items.

When I was a child, I always loved those sugary pretend cigarettes. Lots of adults used to smoke in those days and I used to love to pretend to smoke. I used to lick the red coloured end to make it look like the cigarette was alight.

I used to like sugar mice but I don't think they make them any more.

A regular treat of mine is a bag of Mint Poppets. You can get them for £1 a bag (equivalent to 4 small boxes approx) at places like Farmfoods, pound shops etc., The Range have big boxes for £1 and BM Bargains sell them for only 79p. Delicious.

I’m having to make do with aniseed balls at the moment.

You can still get sugar mice.
